# ckb-next-daemon(8)

Corsair RGB driver daemon

## NAME

ckb-next-daemon - Corsair RGB driver daemon

## SYNOPSIS

**ckb-next-daemon** \[**--gid**=*\<gid\>*\] \[**--hwload**=*\<always\|****try****\|never\>*\] \[**--nonotify**\] \[**--nobind**\] \[**--nonroot**\]

## DESCRIPTION

See *https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next/blob/master/DAEMON.md* for full instructions.

## OPTIONS

- **--gid**=*\<gid\>*

  Restrict access to /dev/input/ckb\* nodes to users in group *\<gid\>*.

- **--hwload**=*\<always\|****try****\|never\>*

  \--hwload=*always* will force loading of stored hardware profiles on compatible devices. May result in long startup times.\
   \--hwload=*try* will try to load the profiles, but give up if not immediately successful (default).\
   \--hwload=*never* will ignore hardware profiles completely.

- **--nonotify**

  Disables key monitoring/notifications. Note that this makes reactive lighting impossible.

- **--nobind**

  Disables all key rebinding, macros, and notifications. Implies **--nonotify**.

- **--nonroot**

  Allows running **ckb-next-daemon** as a non root user. This will almost certainly not work. Use only if you know what you're doing.
